In Web3 circles, everyone talks about transparency. Virtually no one is talking about infrastructure security? If your front door is unlocked, someone will get in eventually.
Across the web:
"We audit contracts"
"We run bug bounties!"
"We're secure! We had a DDOS audit done in 2022!" (More on this in another post).
Yet the machines that run the chain?
They’ve been invisible. Until now.
Starting today, PGDN is making validator infrastructure scores public.
On-chain — the permanent, verifiable record (view)
Online — open for anyone to review (view one)
On Twitter (@pgdnai) — because visibility drives action
The blockchain record is the source of truth. Twitter is just the loudspeaker.
Infrastructure failures don’t happen in a vacuum - they happen in silence.
Without visibility, operators don’t fix them. Protocols don’t know they exist.
And attackers? The hackers do.
Publishing scores changes the equation:
Creates a baseline every operator can measure against
Gives protocols a clear signal on network health
Incentivises fixes before incidents
This isn’t about calling people out. It’s about raising the floor for everyone.
PGDN analyzes publicly exposed endpoints across supported networks
Findings are normalized, scored, and given a trust score
The score is hashed + published on-chain (permanent proof)
The same score is posted online + on @pgdnai for visibility
Anyone can verify a score against its on-chain record.
We’re extending the same approach to:
Gateways
Bridges
RPC endpoints
Network APIs
With automated alerts for regressions and opt-in remediation signals coming soon.
The decentralized edge is public.
Its security should be too.
Follow @pgdnai for live score updates and check the blockchain if you want the real receipts.
